Have a browse on here mate, plenty of stuff Jogging's one of the best ways to start out, try and keep a consistent pace, that helps burn fat as well.

You could try eating smaller amounts often, easier on the system, we're apparantly designed to eat 6 meals a day lol ... If you pile shitloads in, in one go, your digestive system's going to be working doubletime to shift it, at the expense of energy for the rest of your body.

Don't eat late at night, and try and stay away from dairy products.

If it gives you any ideas, whenever a mate of mine wants to shape up for competition, all he eats/drinks (and I do mean all) is OJ, water, brown toast, fish, cold lean meat (in sarnies even), rice, veg/fruit, and low-cal soup, and vitamins/supplements(calcium etc).

The main thing is to just stick at it, even if you think you're getting nowhere, you are.

That's about all I know really
